McCollum, who currently is Georgia Tech’s defensive line coach and recruiting coordinator, officially withdrew his name late Saturday after multiple reports surfaced that he would turn down APSU’s invitation for an interview.

A tight end/offensive lineman for the Governors from 1977-80, McCollum was a member of APSU’s 1977 OVC title team. The former Middle Tennessee head coach was scheduled to be interviewed on campus Monday for the APSU head coaching position after previously interviewing via phone by the search committee.
